We utilized this technique with our own ig page as an experiment and went viral overnight. Humans are trained to feed into gossip patterns and trendy news since the creation of media like TV, Radio, magazine , etc. Breakfast club radio host DJ Envy has been trending lately for promoting a real estate investment scam with his partner Cesar. We were interested to learn more about this story so we created our own mini documentary reels on the subject. You can see the results below:

We gathered clips from Twitter and created quick informational meme reels about the DJ envy & Cesar real estate story. These reels went viral in less than 48 hours accumulating over 1 million views & over 2500 comments from real ig users (no bots). We only have 2000 followers on our gwopmagazine ig page , which proves that a lot followers are not necessary to go viral in 2023.
